"Tourist trap that claims to be a safe space. They charged us more than 8€ for a beer. Moreover, it is a very unpleasant and dirty place full of people smoking. Avoid." (Google / January 2025)

"Overpriced with nothing to offer!!! Me and my friend paid 1000Tl ($29) to enter with no drink, just a beer. The drinks were 600TL and mediocre. The club had nothing to offer to justify the prices, just guys walking around frantically like they were searching for something. Totally not my vibe."
